This is the beginning of my new life!

Dear Reader!

This is the first of many posts.  This blog is of me and my thoughts and ambitions.  Also, my journal - to help me with my weightloss and to help me clear my head.

I am a wife, a mother, a full-time career woman, and a crafter.  I am 230 lbs and have been struggling with my weight all my life but this is the largest I have ever been!  I can't believe that I  let it get to this.  I have recenlty undergone surgery to remove my galbladder, which I have to say, for all of you who are reading this, please stay away from the grease.  If I knew how it would be back then I would have stopped along time ago. 

I will be posting my goals short term and long term here on everything in my life. 

Long Term Weight Loss:   to be 130 lbs

Short Term Weight Loss Goal:  to lose 10 lbs by January 31, 2011.


Measurement Time....

Wegith: 230lbs
Waist: 39"
Arm: 15"
Chest: 46"
Abs: 48"
Hips: 49"
Thighs: 28"
WOW  Thats alot. 
I have started going to the gym and the lady there is a huge motivator.  This is what I need to help me, she got me pumped yesterday and I love it!

I have HUGE challenges awaiting me in this journey but I am exciting to do them.

Challenege #1:  To stop drinking pop and drink 6 - 8 glasses of water.
Challenege #2:  Stop taking the elevator at work and use the stairs.
Challenege #3:  Go to the gym Monday to Friday for at least 45 mins.
Challenege #4:  Not to eat after 8 pm.
THERE ARE NO EXCUSES - JUST DO IT ALREADY! 

Well so long old me and I can't wait to see you in the end!
